MIM Legal Notes

MIM Legal Notes is a product of MIM's Serve the People Prisoners' 
Legal Clinic. MIM Legal Notes is researched and written by our 
comrades behind the walls. We publish these articles and briefs 
because we believe that the legal research and arguments will be 
useful to other prisoners.

Comrades should be aware that differences in laws between states, 
changes in laws and legal precedents over time, and different case 
circumstances all mean that even something that was successful for 
one person might not work for others. We print the best legal 
writing available to us with the understanding that the PLC will 
only grow stronger with increased exposure and participation. We 
encourage all prisoners and non-prisoners to contribute to this 
program with research, writing, and funding.

There may be other legal arguments or cases or statutes that would 
better serve your purposes; what you find here should be useful as 
a starting point. If you can do your own legal work, you may 
choose to rely on a purely bourgeois legal argument, or also use 
political arguments to make your legal case.
